I finished the VErnacular typeface i was working on to develop my workshop on tuesday and im pretty pleased with it! It took ages and i missed out the L!! But its done and ready for my research book.

Loud/Quiet

LIne drawing of an idea i was working on to develop my quiet in the city workshop. Loud versus Quiet things in London. The Barbican tower vs a fountain in Postmans park.

MORE Vernacular type

Another Vernacular typeface i am working on, based on an image of some texture i took for my easter project.

Screenprinting

I took one of my processing images through screen printing today and im pretty pleased with the results! Especially after all the palava i had trying to get my screen sorted today!

Gf Smith

Gf Smith came into our studio today to give us a quick talk about what they do, and paper stocks. It was really informative!

Vernacular type

My typeface from my Venacular Type workshop today. I based my typeface on the London tube system, using the colours and the angular shape to create letterforms.

More pigeons!

Making friends while i was doing some scale workshop development in trafalger square on wednesday.

Area 10

One of the artists, Pimm, Orbistructure, Im sure thats what he called it. It was amazing, its built from re-used materials.

Peckham

Today was our Art in Peckham workshop, Im not to fond of Peckham, But i must admit that today was more fun then my usual experience in Peckham. We went to Area ten which is a disused timber yard and is now a large scale art/design space, which has artists in recidence etc. It is absolutely MASSIVE, which means they've create some really interesting large scale pieces, including these hanging frames with cushions in that you can climb up inside, they reminded me of beehive come nest. They are currently working on a project called the tree house gallery which will go up in Regents park. Check them out: http://www.area10.info/

We also met southwark's artist in residence, whose name has escaped me as it is rather long, Ana Laura Lopez de la Torre. She was really cool and talked to us all about collaboration, and pushing your boundaries by making us go and start a conversation with someone we wouldn't usually talk to, and get a photo of us together. Not the easiest thing to do in Peckham. But all in all it was a productive trip i feel : )

Pigeons!

Pigeons having a bath in Russell square yesterday in the fountain - made me laugh!

Processing workshop 2

More processing images from my second workshop yesterday, this time looking at interaction. The image of me is picked up through the camera on my mac and is like a webcam. The text background is controlled by whatever i chose to insert in the code. Then by changing the variables in the code, i can change the text, colour and size. Its really fun! But a lot of hard work!

Mystic

My collage to sum up our secret mystery tour on the first of may.

Beth

One of my spreads from my publishing and hierarchy  workshop on the 1st featuring an image of Beth Ditto from the current issue of Dazed and Confused. The spreads design is based on the word "immediate"

Quiet in the city

I had to re do my photos for our quiet in the city workshop today, as i lost the originals due to my files being corrupted! LAME! The weather wasn't as great as last time but i took my big  camera to make up for it. Looking at the LOUD parts of the city and the hidden quiet parts like postmans park.
